Since we launched Windows Embedded Compact 2013, one of the key requests we’ve gotten has been around the availability of Wi-Fi drivers for the hardware platforms supported by the operating system. We have exciting news to share: One of our Windows Embedded Compact partners, embWise, recently announced the availability of a WLAN driver, and partner iWave Systems is in the process of making Wi-Fi drivers available soon.

EmbWise created the WLAN drivers SDIO-WLAN Driver for QualcommAtheros AR6K 802.11n chipsets and SDIO-WLAN Driver for Marvell Semiconductor's 88W8787 Wi-Fi +BT chipset.

We have also updated the Windows Embedded Drivers Catalog website, which contains updated information for drivers, including the new ones developed by our partners for Windows Embedded Compact 2013. We will continue to work with partners to make it easier for our customers to create compelling device experiences built with Windows Embedded Compact 2013.

In the upcoming weeks, you will be hearing more about updates on improvements to Windows Embedded Compact 2013.
